Sometimes, people who consume marijuana feel\npleasantly mellow and anxiety-free. Other times, marijuana consumption\nresults in paranoid feelings that leave the consumer less than relaxed.\nMany people wonder how the same plant can produce two reactions that are\nso very different. The answer comes down to brain chemistry and each\nuser's individual experiences.</p>\n<p><strong>How Marijuana Affects the Brain</strong></p>\n<p>In order to understand why marijuana sometimes causes relaxation and\nsometimes causes paranoia, it's important to understand how the\ncompounds contained in marijuana affect the human brain. When marijuana\nis consumed, the cannabinoids (such as THC) in the plant react with\nreceptors in the brain. Many of these receptors are located in the\namygdala, which is responsible for processing complex emotions such as\nstress, fear, and paranoia. As the cannabinoids react within the brain,\nthey influence the function of the amygdala, causing a series of\nemotions that can be either positive (relaxation and happiness) or\nnegative (paranoia and anxiety).</p>\n<p>In some cases, cannabinoids like THC can overstimulate the brain,\nleading to feelings of paranoia and anxiety. This is especially common\nin people who are new to the use of medical marijuana. While nobody\nknows exactly why THC produces anxious feelings on some occasions but\nnot on others, one working theory is that the human body relies on a\nstore of natural endocannabinoids that act very similarly to the\ncompounds found in medical marijuana.</p>\n<p>The brains of people who have suffered trauma or intense stress have\nbeen found to have lower levels of endocannabinoids. When individuals\nwith depleted endocannabinoid levels consume medical marijuana, the\ncannabinoids contained within the plant replenish the body's store of\nendocannabinoids, which produces a relaxing effect. This may offer some\nhint as to why marijuana makes some people feel relaxed and others\nanxious. While further research is needed to solidify this connection,\nresearchers are optimistic about the potential treatments that this\nconnection may pose for people suffering from mood disorders.</p>\n<p><strong>Marijuana and Anxiety</strong></p>\n<p>The first thing to understand about the connection between marijuana and\nanxiety is that a consumer's pre-marijuana anxiety levels have a huge\neffect on post-marijuana anxiety levels. According to <a href=\"http://www.uniad.org.br/desenvolvimento/images/stories/arquivos/Cannabis_and_anxiety.pdf\">a 2009\nreview</a>\nof several prominent cannabis and anxiety studies, people who use\ncannabis frequently have higher anxiety levels than moderate users.</p>\n<p>Additionally, these consumers generally show signs of anxiety disorders\n<em>before</em> they show signs of cannabis dependence. Upon further review,\nresearchers interpreted these results to mean that people who are\nnaturally prone to anxiety tend to use cannabis as a means to cope with\nthat anxiety. This theory lies in direct opposition to the theory that\ncannabis causes anxiety.</p>\n<p>With those results in mind, however, it is important to remember that\nthe presence of anxiety is highly dependent upon many factors, including\nthe following:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>Family history</li>\n</ul>\n<!-- -->\n<ul>\n<li>Personality</li>\n</ul>\n<!-- -->\n<ul>\n<li>Gender</li>\n</ul>\n<!-- -->\n<ul>\n<li>A consumer's personal history of paranoia or anxiety</li>\n</ul>\n<p>When a consumer uses cannabis on a regular basis, other factors like the\nfrequency of cannabis use and the dose consumed can affect anxiety\nlevels as well. With that being said, researchers have noted that people\nwho use marijuana on a regular basis actually see a decrease in anxiety\nlevels. As a general rule, new users or those who consume a high level\nof THC are more likely to experience marijuana-induced paranoia or\nanxiety.</p>\n<p><strong>Avoiding Paranoia and Anxiety When Using Marijuana</strong></p>\n<p>Despite the fact that marijuana and anxiety are highly individualized,\nthere are things consumers can do to avoid marijuana-induced spells of\nanxiety and paranoia. These include the following:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>Consumers who are new to marijuana or have experienced anxiety and\nparanoia while using cannabis in the past should opt for a strain\nthat is low in THC and/or <a href=\"https://www.hellomd.com/health-wellness/56b4fec6ea6a2d000c000077/high-cbd-marijuana-strains\">high in\nCBD</a>.\nBecause CBD is non-psychoactive, it's likely to decrease anxiety and\nproduce a more relaxed and lucid experience.</li>\n</ul>\n<!-- -->\n<ul>\n<li>Regardless of whether a consumer is an experienced marijuana user or\nnot, it's important to be careful about doses while\nconsuming marijuana. As a general rule, it's more difficult to\ncontrol the dose of\n<a href=\"https://www.hellomd.com/products/5c6c9b099fcb5d56b3f3df6d/wellness-cannabis-tincture\">oils</a>\nand\n<a href=\"https://www.hellomd.com/health-wellness/56ce39abde99bd000c0000bb/how-to-make-marijuana-brownies-recipe\">edibles</a>\nthan it is\n<a href=\"https://www.hellomd.com/health-wellness/56b10a386d677f000b00007d/vaporizing-or-vaping-what-you-need-to-know\">vaporizing</a>\nor smoking. Consumers who have had poor experiences with marijuana\nin the past should consider smoking or vaporizing and upping the\nintake dose slowly to avoid uncomfortable episodes.</li>\n</ul>\n<!-- -->\n<ul>\n<li>One of the best ways to avoid marijuana-induced anxiety and paranoia\nis to always consume cannabis products in a comfortable and\ncalm space. Selecting to use these products at home rather than in a\ncrowded setting can help consumers reduce the likelihood of\nmarijuana-induced paranoia naturally.</li>\n</ul>\n<!-- -->\n<ul>\n<li>Consumers who are having difficulty avoiding anxiety even after\ntrying the above tips should consider changing the strain of\nmarijuana consumed. While this may seem like a simple tip, every\nstrain of marijuana offers a different selection of chemicals, which\naffect the body differently. Consumers shouldn't be afraid to\nexperiment with <a href=\"https://www.hellomd.com/health-wellness/55d4c0dc6338310006000000/indica-or-sativa-making-the-right-choice\">different\nstrains</a>\nto determine which ones work best for their personal preferences\nand needs. When experimenting with new strains, consumers should\nremember that Sativa strains generally produce a more active\nexperience while Indica strains are known to be more mellow\nand relaxed.</li>\n</ul>\n<p>While marijuana-induced anxiety and paranoia do occasionally happen,\nthere are steps consumers can take to avoid these negative emotions. By\nbeing educated about how marijuana affects the brain and knowing what to\ndo to limit the risk of anxiety and paranoia, consumers can be proactive\nabout ensuring a positive marijuana experience every time.</p>\n<p><a
